Sansom has been ill so maybe that explains it - I felt it was all contrived to reach the inevitable climax.

I've read all the Shardlake novels and agree with you Jess about the most recent one. I felt that he was running out of steam, not to mention that the character was getting older and more incapacitated.

Agreed. The only one I have not terribly enjoyed was the most recent Shardlake one which was less good IMO.
Interesting essay on Scottish nationalism at the end of Dominion.

Have just recently discovered this author, and must say I am really impressed! Halfway through Dominion at the moment [There was never a second world war, but Germany and the Nazis now run the UK. Set in a very grey England in the 1950's] However I thought that Winter In Madrid[set in Spain during/after Civil war there] was even better! Such wonderful writing, and a page turner kind of book as well, brilliant. He also writes the historical novels [series] with MattthewShardlake, lawyer, murder mysteries, Revelation was one that I read recently.
